## Caption

In August 2013, Alex Rodriguez returned to Fenway Park with the New York Yankees shortly after being suspended 211 games for performance-enhancing drug violations, though he was allowed to play while appealing. Boston fans relentlessly booed him and chanted “You’re a cheater,” and tensions escalated when Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster threw inside multiple times before hitting Rodriguez, leading to warnings and the ejection of Yankees manager Joe Girardi.

Rodriguez answered the hostility by blasting a solo home run off Dempster later in the game, helping spark a Yankees comeback and turning an already heated night into one of the most memorable moments of his controversial career.
